Dream Irish Fights

Roper

I know that this has been posted before, but I'm in the midst of organising The Fight Before Christmas 2 this morning (I know I know, Christmas already!). I'm doing it now so I can try to get the right fights for the night organised well in advanced and so that the fighters involved can clear their schedules as I really don't care if I make any money on this one, I just want to put on a cracker with the pro fights I want to see.

So I put it to you fine ladies and gents of the Irish MMA world, what would you like to see? I have about 3 matches in mind, one of which I more or less have organised and the other two I'd like to see happen.

Valmont

I always wanted to see Tim Murphy vs. Owen Roddy II (it hasn't happened has it? and Tim Murphy vs. Kevin McAlonan. There are some others but I can't remember everyone's names.

Dragan

It would be nice if Tim Murphy Vs Gary Morris happened to be honest.

roo1981

Tim and Gary would be interesting...I sense a lot of boards smack talk during the build up

Tom Egan and Emmet McNally would be a beast of a main event.

mark.leonard

Emmet McNally vs Clive Staunton II gets my vote

Alan Hannon vs Tom Maguire

Ben Davis vs Connor McGregor

Tom Haddock vs Colin McKee

Mark O'Toole vs Gearoid McNicholl (won't happen as they are both EFR but it is dream matches after all)

Nothingcompares

Tom Haddock - John Donnelly (rematch)
Greg Loughran - Francis Heagney (rematch)
Emmet McNally - Tom Egan/Clive Staunton

Kevin fights lightweight now and it seems to be suiting him. I'm trying to make him and Alan Hannon happen for TW 5 in October

Tom Haddock - John Donnelly (rematch) - they had a great first fight alright, John is at welter now, though there have been rumors of a 77kg Tomahawk making an appearance, he is out injured now though.

I 3rd it!

But i actualy think it would end up a ground fight, for some reason this tends to happen when 2 strikers get together!

Tim_Murphy

Get some coaches out of retirement...
Mark Leonard Vs Andy Ryan :eek:

I think the boys should get together and have a 'gentlemans agreement' like marcus david and chris lytle and agree to stand and bang."First to take it to the ground is a pussy" ....in their words

I would pay to see that, great match..

what about davey patterson v John Kavanagh on aswell..
they might not match in weight though these days.

mark.leonard

People are obviously fooled by my great strength into thinking I am a heavy weight, I ain't!
John has retired from MMA and I think Davy is significantly heavier.

A better one would be Dave Jones vs Davey though there may be weight issues there too.

What weight are you as you do look like a heavy? i thought i saw you fighting heavy before!
did you not fight andy in sub wrestling before? you's would of matched up weight wise then i assume.

Yeah, im underestimating Davey's weight, im sure he fought 77 and john is prob 68 or so walking around.

So i'll change mine to Dave Jones V Davey Patterson!

Another match i'd like to see would be Robbie walsh v Mickey Young-them lads have infinished business..

This fight alone would sell out a TW or a Team Ryano event! weight classes,smeight classes Mark

Ben Davis versus Steve McCombe at 65.8 would be an interesting affair, striker versus grappler maybe, in a modern MMA sense?

Timbo Murphy and Gary Morris too purely for the internet hype and epic staredown, no touching gloves there I'd say

rovert

Pardon my ignorance but has Tom Egan fought another fight since January?

Not yet, he need to make sure he's winning if he's to get back to the ufc so i assume he's working on his weaknesses and getting ready to try to get back to the top

PADRAIC.M

Clive Staunton v Tom Haddock

Roper

Sweet ideas folks. Consider me working on them. Keep them coming.

Valmont

Clive Staunton v Tom Haddock

+1

Nothingcompares

I'd like to Aidan Marron fight, not sure who though, he's a LW yeah?

Mick Leonard Tim Murphy rubber match. i beleive Mick has a Semipro victory over Murphy but Tim did the business under pro rules in a galway TW show.

Also Neil seery is one of the most exciting lads to watch these days. Maybe one of the big guns from the uk could be brought in?

Martin Walker

Ive loads of fights in mind but im gonna keep them to myself. For my own show.........:D
One however i would love to see on a show in Dublin would be Norman Parks from EFR vs Conor McGreagor from SBG @-70kgs. Potential classic.
Im gonna PM you about our fighters.

Tim_Murphy

I concur.

Roper

Marty, got the pm, I'll get round to it I'm just mentally busy at the mo! I have a better idea than your one though

I'm not sure Leonard/Ryan will happen. They've both been inactive for a long time now and I know Andy has really been focussing on his BJJ. I agree though, it would be a very interesting match up

mirwillbeback

Paddy Clint against anyone who will kick his ass and make me happy.

Martin Walker

Coolio! Ive another one i could persuade from our place. U have PM....:)

Yeh ide definantly like to see Tim vs Gary!...It should of happened before..Im not sure why it never???....An i think Myself vs Steve would be a good fight to!

cowzerp

A fight that was talked about a while back that comes to mind is Karl Roche V Mark Leonard, Karls back training and thats why it popped into my head..

Yeh i think myself vs Conor would be a great fight!..Ide be abit light as im 70 kg after a chicken ball curry...lol...But ide stand and bang with anyone....And sometimes in the sport of mma u avto settle for a ground fight...Thats what i learnt after my fight with Peter Wilson at Tribalwarfare4!

koking

Greg Loughran vs Tom Mc Guire
Paddy Doherty vs Neil Seery
Emmet Mc Nally vs Tom Egan
Cowzerp vs Conor Mc Gregor
Alan Hannon vs Norman Parks

Thats all the ones i can think on at the min

colinlaird000

did someone say karl is back in training?
Hes an old hand like me. I cant think of many up and coming heavy wieghts.. Going senile!

I guess i have to suggest some fights now..

Gareth Loye v John Donnelly
Are Gary Morris and Chris Stringer the same weight?

I just seen a Paul Cowzer vs Conor McGregor shout...that fight was meant to happen before i fought Conor alllll that time ago.. Think he was injured in training or something, would love for it to happen again, but Paul now fights BW and Conor is LW so Paul would have to give up alot of weight, Robbie Walsh vs Mickey Young...as said before them boys got serious unfinished business!!!

Gary pulled out with an injury.

Chris was a LW when I fought him but I think he is up at welter weight now.

If Andy does not want it on his show i'd put it on mine in November "IF THE COACHES WANTED IT", thats karl roche by the way.

colinlaird000

never mind the coaches. Who listend to them anyway

What about ME ? lol As for my weight..Presently im sitting about 94kg eating my "normal" diet and not having trained properly for a few weeks. I debated dropping to middle recently, but that would involve not eating. I dont like that idea. I've just faced up to the fact that im big boned. Those years of being told that i needed to put on more weight to prop have emotionally scarred me. Anyway, i'm not the violent sort :rolleyes: I've man wrestled with karl already sure. And hes the same team so that would be a bit naughty. :P And dont youwatch television? "Cage Fighting" is barbaric. :cool: Wouldnt want to get myself involved in that stuff

wetdogsmell

by the way peter that is my real name, i think i'm about 90 kg's now, i remember peter saying i felt realy light when i rolled with him at the seminar:p and colin i'll have another man wrestle in galway, but no mma i couldn't punch anyone as good looking as you (plus i don't like when people hit me back)

colinlaird000

LOl we could both get down to middle weight for a giggle then. "Laird grapples 90kg dog of death" could be the headline. There could be a trapieze and stuff. And dancing midgets.

A sponsored weight cut sounds like a laugh. Its your fluid, dynamic rolling style that makes you feel light probably. That or broken scales. As for my good looks, i think you are the first person that hasnt tried their hardest to ruin them. Out of jealousy. As for hitting back, im not very good at that so im sure you'd be ok

colinlaird000

And I am an easy fight. I'd fight me if i could.

Love the confidence Colin truly inspiring, i'd say that fight would be a stale mate though!

weemate

ah well, the exessive amounts of male bonding being broadcast on the forum have made me have a change of heart,sure I wouldnt want to damage the budding relationship now would I???
apart from that,Kyoujin and Ryano fighters dont compete against each other.as Colin said,we are pretty much the same team.
